Hi, there are two levels of possible issues  here:

- in some browsers it seems (as foo.html does) one needs at least an 
empty script tag to have eval() available on the window object

- more importantly while it is possible to use oejskit to do functional 
testing (we have used it here that way) because of javascript security 
the tested pages/app and testing infrastructure need to come from the 
same domain, this can be arranged with proxying but there's no example 
right now how to do this and this depends on how the pages/app 
themselves are served.

Basically the second url:
http://localhost:62737/browser_testing/rt/InBrowserTesting.js

would really need to look like:

http://ctier.arcode.com:8888/ 
<http://ctier.arcode.com:8888/foo.html>browser_testing/rt/InBrowserTesting.js 
<http://localhost:62737/browser_testing/rt/InBrowserTesting.js>
